(Bill Schammert) The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says its troopers were doing everything by the book when they smashed a driver’s window and hit the driver with a night stick for being non-compliant. According to a highway patrol spokesman, the troopers thought the man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but later found out he was having a medical episode.

The incident was all caught on camera.

“To me, it seemed aggressive,” said the man who shot the video. He doesn’t want to be named.

My Commentary: Experiencing medical distress while driving, which leaves you and your car in a ditch, barely able to move, or even communicate? To the trained officers at the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, that’s called “non-compliance,” so your car window will be broken, and you will be beaten about the face and head with night sticks.

Samantha P.: That is just terrible! Poor dog, poor girl, poor family! I hope they find the person who did this and punish them! Absolutely disgusting!

Stacie T.: My stomach is knotted. I am ashamed to be of the same species as the monsters who did this. If anyone ever hurt my girls, I’d want them torn to shreds.

Jessica O.: People are sick. Disgusting.

Sara: Wow, our society is just going to hell. What a deplorable, disgusting, piece of shit to do something like that. I wish I could find the person who did it, take a bat to their jaw and throw them in a river. Ugh!

A Moncks Corner mother says she believes her daughter’s special needs service dog was hit on the side of the head with a baseball bat.

Toby was reported stolen last week, but over the weekend he turned up dead on the family’s front lawn.

“Devastated, absolutely devastated that someone can do something so horrendous, not just because he was a special pet to us, but just an animal in general, someone could be so disheartening,” Nolan said.

Nolan says it has been one of the worst weeks of her life.

Last Tuesday, witnesses said her daughter’s 3-year-old service dog Toby, an American Bull Terrier, was taken from her front yard and put in a car that drove off. Toby was trained to keep an eye on Nolan’s 9-year-old autistic daughter Allie.
